2013 VEX Robotics World Championship Preview

This approximately one minute film shows an action-packed sequence in a game of Sack Attack at the 2013 VEX Robotics World Championship. The event was hosted by the Robotics Education Foundation, www.roboticseducation.org, and was held April 17-20 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. The object of the game is to have your team alliance robots stack as many of the green sacks in the raised goals as possible, and robots could also “descore” points achieved by an opposing alliance by removing scored sacks. There were both autonomous and remote controlled periods in the game play. See the July-August issue of Robot magazine for a feature story on this event.
